Prosecutors Charge 8 in California Workers’ Comp Kickback Scheme
Eight people are facing federal charges in San Diego, Calif. in what prosecutors call a kickback scheme that involved tens of thousands of dollars in bribes and $25 million in improper workers’ compensation claims.
U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said this week that the indictments are the first in a wave of charges targeting workers’ comp fraud.
Authorities arrested five people Tuesday, including a radiologist and a chiropractor. Six companies are also charged.
